I was having too much fun. It was better than any modern day romance novel or movie (does Hollywood even make romantic comedies?). When you read three books a month like I do, you think you'll never run across something you don't know. But lately by looking for free Kindle books and searching for the books on which 1930's movies were based, I've found treasures like this, as well as books by Temple Bailey and D. E. Stevenson (which aren't free but I decided a collection of them is a necessity for any book shelf). I'm always surprised at how many books these authors sold in their day, and how little we know about them. Read this to have a good time in the kitchen without having to clean up
